Allied Arts is proud to be working with several new Teaching Artists this year for our Arts Education Project. Bringing a diverse range of art into our Whatcom County Elementary Schools.

Liz Smyth has been working with Allied Arts for several years and is now one of our many new Teaching Artists. Liz is currently a graduate student in anthropology at Western studying dancers and their connection to community and identity. Liz has been teaching for seven years in dance studio settings in Port Orchard, Gig Harbor, Seattle and currently in Blaine, WA. She’s taught students that range in age from toddlers to seniors in ballet, tap, creative movement, and jazz.

Students will join her in her lesson, Anatomy: The Skeletal System Through Dance.
